Beverley McLachlin, former chief justice of Canada’s supreme court, steps down amid warnings rule of law in city is ‘in grave danger’
A former chief justice of Canada’s supreme court is stepping down from Hong Kong’s top court, the city’s officials said Monday, the latest in a string of resignations from the court amid concerns about Hong Kong’s judicial independence.
Hong Kong’s judiciary confirmed late on Monday that Beverley McLachlin would end her term serving as a non-permanent overseas judge at Hong Kong’s court of final appeal.
